Performance Dashboard monitors
The Performance Dashboard provides a high-level overview of the performance on the network.
This allows you to easily check the performance of devices on the network. The Performance
Dashboard also provides several features to help you quickly access performance metrics and
reports.
The dashboards update every ten minutes regardless of the currently selected tab (SANor

You can change the default size of the status widgets and performance monitors by placing the
cursor on the divider until a double arrow displays. Click and drag the adjoining divider to resize the
window.
Reset the Performance Dashboard back to the default size by right-clicking in the white space and
selected Reset to Default.

• Top Port C3 Discards — Table view of the C3 discards measure (All SAN FC port collector)

collector)
